About Us
Quality & Quantity Construction Services, Inc.
Our Story: Over Three Decades of Excellence in the Bay Area, Nevada County, Grass Valley, and Nevada City
At Quality & Quantity Construction Services, Inc. (Q & Q), we have spent decades helping homeowners and businesses in Northern California bring their construction visions to life. Founded in 1987 as a design-build firm by Frans Velthuijsen, Q & Q initially combined both design and construction. Over the years, our focus has evolved, and today, we specialize in design and drafting services, helping clients navigate the building permit process with precision and efficiency. More than just drafters, we see ourselves as creative problem solvers, ensuring that client visions are well-executed and transformed from abstract ideas into concrete, functional plans.
Frans, our founder, has a Bachelor’s degree in Building Engineering (BBE) from the Netherlands and gained extensive experience working for several renowned construction firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1999, he and his wife have called Nevada County home, dedicating their skills to the region’s rich architectural landscape and unique building challenges.
From Design-Build to Specializing in Architectural Design, Drafting, and Permitting
For over three decades, Q & Q worked with an in-house construction team, trade contractors, and consultants, serving both the San Francisco Bay Area and Nevada County. By 2018, as longtime associates moved or retired, Frans made a strategic decision to transition fully into residential and commercial design and drafting, ensuring that clients receive expert assistance in securing permits for their projects.
Why Nevada City?
Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Nevada City is known for its historical charm, rugged landscapes, and high-quality cultural and artistic community. We understand the local architecture, zoning laws, and unique permit challenges that come with building in this beautiful area. Our expertise ensures that whether you are designing a new custom home, an addition, or a remodel, your plans meet all county and state requirements efficiently.

What We Offer
Expert Design and Drafting Services
Our focus is on quality design and drafting for residential and light commercial projects. We create detailed blueprints, ensuring your plans comply with local building codes and permit requirements.
Building Permit Assistance
We also help navigate the complexities of obtaining local permits. So, whether you’re building from scratch, expanding your home, or remodeling a historic structure, our knowledge of local zoning laws and regulations ensures a smooth approval process.
Custom Home and Remodel Designs
Every home should reflect the owner’s vision while fitting harmoniously within the landscape. We specialize in custom home design, additions, remodeling and renovations, helping clients maximize space and function while adhering to environmental and historical preservation guidelines. A space is not only defined by the number of square feet, the floor, ceiling, and walls. Each space also has its own quality, even if they are the same size and shape. Not only does a space exist in time, you will also spend a part of your life in that space, and we want to make that time quality time.
Collaboration Across Various Professionals
Successful projects rely on seamless coordination among multiple experts. Q & Q fosters collaboration with architects, engineers, consultants and contractors to ensure that every aspect of the design is optimized for the best outcome. We have built a strong network of specialized professionals who contribute their expertise to every project, ensuring precision, efficiency, and adherence to all necessary codes and requirements. Whether it’s refining structural details with engineers or working closely with contractors to streamline construction, our collaborative approach ensures that all elements align for a successful build.
